DNA test? Did he sign the birth certificate? Is he the real dad? Why doesn't the name match. I think your leaving out some important information needed to answer this question.

I agree with all the previous posters.
My husband and I don't have the same last name either--I kept mine when we got married--and our daughters have my last name, and insurance has never been a problem.
Even if your baby isn't biologically your husband's, or even if you aren't legally married, insurance HAS to cover you in many states under domestic partnership laws.
And if you are married, and you bring a child to the marriage, even if your husband doesn't legally adopt your daughter (which is a whole separate issue), I don't think that an insurance company can deny you coverage on those grounds.
Do you get your insurance through your or your husband's work? Can you talk with a benefits specialist or HR person there? They should be able to walk you through whatever you need to do to get covered, and to advocate on your behalf.
Different last names can be a pain when you're trying to arrange some things (say, for a car rental in Virginia), but usually a marriage certificate is all you need. And it's 2007, for Pete's sake: yours is hardly an isolated situation. Insurance companies are well aware that many couples do not share the same last name.
There must be a piece of this puzzle that we don't understand...

Is his name on the birth certificate? Even if he had a different last name but his name is on the birth certificate, that should be enough. If he's not on the birth certificate and needs to be recognized as the legal father, I guess you'd need to contact a lawyer? Best of luck.

if your current husband is the father then why doesn't she have his last name..if another man is her father the only way for your current husband to adopt her would be for the natural father to die or give up his parental rights and unless you can prove he is a total deadbeat dad not alot of dads are willing to give up their parental rights...are you even married to the guy with the greek last name or what
